Garlic Mashed Potatoes
8-10 Potatoes peeled and boiled. Mash the potatoes adding in 1/2 - 1 whole package of cream cheese. I start with half and see if it is enough to make it creamy and 1/4 - 1/2 cup butter...add in salt and garlic powder to taste. It can be served as is or if you want it to be extra yummy you can put it in a casserolle dish adding a few pats of butter around the top pressing down a little bit into the potatoes and then put in the oven at around 350 degrees for up to 45mins...very tasty! I usually serve this with the oven fried chicken.

Wonderful website
I love the website saymmm.com it is a wonderful way to prepare your menu add recipes and be able to quickly make your list of menu items for the week and your grocery list. Once you have inputed all your recipes and their required ingredients all you need to to is add them to your "plan" and then compile the grocery list and all the ingredients are automatically added to your shopping list for you! You can also manually type in any extra items you need....it's AMAZING!!! I've been using it for years and love it. :)
Chicken Quesadillas
2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut up into 1 inch cubes
onion, diced
green pepper, diced
cayenne pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
flour tortillas
sour cream
cheese
tomato
green onions
Basically, I brown/cook the chicken with the cayenne pepper and salt until it is cooked through and add in the onion and green pepper and allow those to cook stirring frequently. I use shortening to coat one side of the tortillas (i use the smaller size one's) then I put them in a pan add the chicken filling and cheese and fold the tortilla into a half moon shape allowing the bottom to brown slightly and melting the cheese flip it over and do the same on that side. I even prop up the tortilla to get the back of it browned as well. Add your favorite toppings (IE; shredded lettuce, sour cream, chopped green onions, tomato, etc) and ENJOY!

Crock Pot Ranch Chicken
Crock Pot Ranch Chicken
Ingredients:
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I usually use less)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
½ cup water
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp ranch dressing
2 tbsp flour
Spray crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in crock pot. In a small bowl, combine soup, ranch dressing mix, and water; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours. Remove chicken from crock pot. Stir in sour cream, ranch dressing, and flour; replace chicken. Cover and cook on high 20 mins.
This is really good with mashed potatoes since the sauce can be used as a sort of gravy! So easy and very tasty! :)

Taste and season, if necessary, with salt and pepper. Put a spoonful of the mixture in each muffin cup. Sprinkle the top of each potato puff with grated cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the potato cups are set, browned on top, and hot through and through. Serve immediately.

3 Ingredient Peanut butter bars
1 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups oats (I have used quick oats, not sure how it would differ with regular)
chocolate chips( optional and of course delicious)
Directions: Mix together the honey and peanut butter in saucepan until it turns liquidy. Once this happens pour in the oats and stir until mixed. Put into a 9x9 pan- or bigger if you want it to be thinner- The last time I used a 11x13 and it was a good thickness I think. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and let sit over night. It is pretty sticky, so every once in a while I put it in the freezer to harden up a bit.
